Hackaday seem to be underwhelmed

Apple Sucks Now, Here’s A ThinkPad Buyer’s Guide | Hackaday

This week, Apple unveiled the latest MacBook Pro and provided more evidence Steve Jobs actually knew what he was doing. Fifteen hundred bones will get you a MacBook Pro with a last-gen processor, an Escape key, a headphone jack, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports (with one port required for charging). The next model up costs $1800, ditches the Escape key for a dedicated emoji bar, and includes four Thunderbolt 3 ports.

In the past, I have defended people who choose MacBooks as their laptop of choice. A MacBook is a business-class laptop, and of course carries a higher price tag. However, Apple’s latest hardware release was underwhelming and overpriced. If you’re looking for a new laptop, you would do well to consider other brands. To that end, here’s a buyer’s guide to ThinkPads, currently the second most popular laptop I’ve seen with the dev/hacker/code cracker crowd.

Why do they make such a big thing of its thinness? I'd sooner have a chunky laptop like an Alienware

Exactly how many threads are you going to start regarding a laptop - its a laptop for god's sake and one that has a few compromises that (even when you ignore the 20% price increase in $ prices) means its no longer suitable for a lot of our use cases.

I'm counting one. How many did you count?

Not everyone cares about looking cool. Buy a Dell, there's no shame in it.

Was a little worried about the Microsoft surface studio coming out with its news tech. But the new Macbook has just blown the pants off it.

Cause if it's something you want to carry with you, taking up less space is a good thing.
